Description
Features
- D3O Impact Protection — Strategically placed D3O inserts use a non-Newtonian polymer that stays soft and flexible during normal movement, then instantly stiffens on impact to disperse blunt-force energy.
- French Military Issue — Authentic issue protective vest fielded by the French Army and Gendarmerie, one of the first military-adopted D3O platforms.
- Covert Low-Profile Design — Slim mesh construction wears comfortably under a uniform shirt, jacket, or plate carrier without printing or bulking up your silhouette.
- Breathable Mesh Body — Open mesh shell promotes airflow and reduces heat buildup during extended wear in the field or on patrol.
- Expandable Sizing — Stretch construction allows a size small to comfortably fit a medium, giving the vest a forgiving range across multiple body types.
- Reusable Reactive Inserts — Once the impact energy passes, each D3O pad returns to its pliable state and is ready for the next hit — no swap-outs, no degradation cycle between strikes.
- Lightweight Build — Adds meaningful blunt-trauma protection without the weight penalty of rigid trauma plates or padded liners.
- Layering Compatible — Designed to be worn as a standalone covert garment or as a trauma-mitigation layer underneath a soft armor carrier or hard plate setup.

Superb protection but sizing runs smallBeen wearing this under my airsoft gear on weekends and it really does the job, the D3O pads are soft when your just moving around but when you take a hit they firm right up and spread out the shock. I use it mostly on the shoulders and forearms and its saved me from some nasty bruises already. The mesh body is stretchy and stays close to the body so it hides good under a jacket. J
Pads stay flexible till you get hit
Low profile hides easy under clothesGets warm in hot weather

Second one I bought, fits greatBought my second French Army D30 vest fits me perfect under a daypack. The D3O pads actually cover the ribs and spine where I've taken falls on scrambles and it breathes descent for something this protective.
Fits well under a hiking pack

Very small but cheap D30has great armor but perfect fit if your 5 ft. I’m 510 and it doesn’t even go past my belly button

great valueI'm 6'1" 195lbs (188cm 88kg) and this just barely fits, but would probably be uncomfortable to wear for long rides, as the thumb loops would pull and it's a little tight around the shoulders. mainly bought this for the D3O inserts, as buying them new would run about $180 US without a jacket. Great way to add arm armor to any jacket
mesh material is very breathable
armor covers lateral aspect of almost all of arms with the exception of the wrist and mid upper arm
coverage of entire shoulder
waist band is elastic and rubberized to prevent slippingonly one size

Fantastic valueWell designed protection, light and efficient. The D30 looks like can neutralize hard contact.
Doesn't restrict movement. Good value.
